Ever look at a profile pic and think, I wouldn’t recognize this person in real life? We go there with a fast, funny, and honest look at filters, makeup illusions, beard baiting, and why so many of us are performing beauty instead of presenting ourselves.

We talk about catfishing 2.0—where the photo is “you,” but the edits, contouring, or facial hair change the story. Jane and Bobbi unpack the awkward shock of first dates that don’t match the grid, the avalanche of unsolicited messages that blow past boundaries, and the double standards that ask for total honesty while hiding eyebrows, jawlines, and more. Expect laughs, including a Spanx saga you won’t forget, plus practical advice for profiles that won’t backfire when the lighting changes.

Then we widen the lens: Instagram face, AI edits, and beautification tech that train our brains to prefer an edited self. We explore filter dysphoria, media pressure on teens, and the narrow standards pushed by fashion and advertising. Where do tattoos, piercings, and plastic surgery fit? We draw a thoughtful line between reversible style and permanent changes done to chase trends, with compassion for anyone navigating scars, aging, or confidence dips.

If you love makeup, cool. If you love your beard, great. The point isn’t to stop expressing yourself; it’s to make sure your photos and presence won’t surprise someone across the table. Share at least one unfiltered shot, lead with your real voice, and remember that confidence is the best filter. Hit play for sharp takes, genuine warmth, and a reminder to love your ugly—because that’s where the real beauty starts.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reality check on filters, and leave a quick review to tell us what part hit home.
